The Farm Stand is Open

We've been exploring fall topics such as leaves, apples and pumpkins in my classroom this month. Today we transformed our kitchen area into a farm stand. The students will have the opportunity to play with and shop for fruits & vegetables at our farm stand. I used a variety of tutorials to create the felt fruit and vegetables, then paired them up with my farm stand visuals. I'm so happy with how it turned out. I can't wait to see the kids using this center. The farm stand visuals can be found here in my TPT shop.

Introduction

Welcome to my blog, it seems that introductions are in order. I’m Miss Jill. I am special education preschool teacher living and teaching in New England. I teach in an integrated preschool program which means I work with children who have a variety of special needs as well as children who are developing typically. I’ve been in a classroom for 15 years, but I learn new things all the time. As a special educator every year the needs of my students change which means I have the opportunity to learn new things and create new materials based on my student’s needs. Honestly, I have one of the best jobs on the planet. I get to sing, dance and act goofy every day. 

Why Oh, Miss Jill, you ask? A few years ago I was being silly with the kids and one of my students said “Oh, Miss Jill.” as she laughed at my goofy antics. Every time I made a mistake or acted silly she would say it. It stuck with me so when I decided to start my Teacher’s Pay Teachers store Oh, Miss Jill seemed like the perfect name. Now I’m extending Oh Miss Jill into blog format. My goal is to share preschool ideas, materials and tips with other preschool teachers and early childhood providers. So welcome to Oh Miss Jill.
